Sir Ratan Tata Trust (SRTT) may not attend the Tata Trusts board meeting on August 13 because the Maharashtra charity commissioner has not lifted a restraint order against it, sources told the Economic Times. The order, issued in May under the Maharashtra Public Trusts Act, bars SRTT from holding meetings or taking decisions over alleged governance violations. SRTT has sought relief from the Bombay High Court. The meeting comes ahead of the Tata Sons AGM on August 18. Key issues include a dispute over the transfer of 833 Tata Sons shares in 1989 from the Navajbai Ratan Tata Trust to Naval H Tata, the renewal of chairman N Chandrasekaran's term, and the debate over listing Tata Sons. SRTT and Sir Dorabji Tata Trust together hold 51.54% of Tata Sons.
